these are people from the small town of carthage, texas. rick really need the fabric of this story, because he is from east texas, too. he wanted to do a real authentic look at small-town texas gossip, like the people of the town. that really came through in the script. and also, another thought that went through my mind is this is something that is far away from me, very far from anything i've done in the past. the character is super effeminate and from texas and a mortician, all these elements i have never touched on before. he murdered someone. i have never played a part that had that kind of dark secret, and i have never murdered anyone. [laughter] that is one of the things that attracted me to it and also made me a little bit wary. tavis: did any of it intimidate you, or did you see it all as a challenge? >> my career has gone in a different direction. i am kung fu panda. you don't want kung fu panda to be suddenly murdering people. at the same time, it is good to mix it up and take a little rest now and then. because it is a gray area

of texas in austin. battle all over 15 years has really changed the university. -- that law over 15 years. a third of the students now are hispanic or black coming in. almost all those students come in under the top 10% law. the reason it is important is justice kennedy, the middle vote on affirmative action, has always said something like i think there's a need for diversity on campus, but a race- based program should be the last resort, it should be the last option. so the question before the court in this case is, if texas has achieved a very good level of diversity using this top 10% plan with no preference is given to minority students, they got their own merits, they graduated in the top 10% of their class, can you have an affirmative-action plan that considers race? texas wants to do both. a sense of the argument was there are five justices, conservative justices are inclined to rule against texas and the hard thing to date is whether they will issue a broad decision or in narrow decision. they co
